Friday
Woke up around 10AM. Copied pictures to my laptop. Fell back asleep, but got up before noon.
Minna and Lotta picked me up around 1. They took me to the Sibelius monument, dedicated to the famous Finnish composer.
We also walked around the boat docks and saw a bungee jumping crane nearby. Quite a few people were taking the plunge!
Minna dropped me off back at the house mid afternoon. I did some computer work for a few hours.
Antti picked me up and took me to their apartment for dinner. They dropped me back in Malmi around 830. I watched the Olympics then went to bed.
